ON THE DEATH OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

That sometimes follows sovereigns to the tomb;

To thy dear loss shall every rite be paid,
And the sad tear of fond affection flow !

The minute bell that tells the fatal tale;—
She, she is gone for whom we felt elate;
Tis the fond wife, the mother, we bewail,
The minute bell that tells the fatal tale;—
She, she is gone for whom we felt elate;
Tis the fond wife, the mother, we bewail,
